With the Umitation of the ages and num ber of pupils in attendance, there should be greater efficiency. There were several changes in the Staff during the early part of the year, when several new appointments are made. It now consists of three European teachers, seven Anglo Chinasemasters and four vernacular masters, while the two P.T.'s who are paid out of the school vote still attend Normat Class at Queer's College.

HIS EXCELLE NOY :-Ladies and Gentlemen ~The very large increase in the numbers in this school at Balyingpan hos, you know, com Pelled the Government to take into considers tion a very large extension of the buildings, which is now being completed, and which I think will give entire satisfaction. But, sewe heard from the report which Mr. Morris read. to us, and also se I hear from the Director of Education, there is still some over rowding, and recently a large number of boys who were anxious to enter this school hara been compelled to be refused admission, This is very satisfactory from one point of view. Since I have been in this Colony, I have been delighted to see the extenordinary demand which his arise in late years for
education, but still I think very strongly that
it is a mistake to allow any overcrowding what ever, and it is our duty to see that all those pupils we receive into our Government Schools have sufficient room, not only from the point of view of hygiene and sanitation, but also that individual attention may be given to sack scholar, and adequate attention by the masters, whose powers shall not be overtared by Iving classes too large to supervise. “You have now completed the first year in this from Mr. Merria that the year has buan a new building, and I am very glad to hear
textul and prosperous one. The pupils in this school have during the past two years just doabled. Two years ago the average attendance stood at 204, and we heard just now that the average attendance for the past year was 403, To meet this demand during the past year the Government appointed four more "Chinese tachers in this school and an English mistress
